About the journal
|
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of thermal injury. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of thermal injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers; state of the art reviews; case reports and descriptions of burn-care in practice; listings of current relevant literature and reviews of selected articles.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of fire smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to, and treatment of, patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well-controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on appropriate micro-organisms; the body's responses to inflammatory or anti-inflammatory agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burn injury and the outcomes of burn wound healing.
Burns seeks to publish suitable material submitted by all professions involved in the care, treatment and prevention of burn injuries.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of papers. The Editorial Board invite the submission of original articles for publication in the Journal. These and any other editorial communications should be addressed to Dr P.G. Shakespeare, Laing Burn Research Laboratories, Odstock Hospital, Salisbury SP2 8BJ, UK.
A paper is accepted for publication on the understanding that it has been contributed solely to this journal, and that articles and illustrations become the property of the journal, unless the authors state, before publication, that they reserve the rights to themselves. If any illustrations, diagram or part of the text have been published elsewhere the source must be given in full, permission by having been granted by the author and by the publisher.
The Editor reserves the right to make editorial and literary corrections. No major alterations or corrections will be made without the knowledge and consent of the author. Three copies of the text of the paper should be submitted with three complete sets of illustrations. Manuscripts should be accompanied by a covering letter signed by each named author, affirming that the paper has been submitted solely to Burns and that it is not concurrently under consideration for publication in any other journal. Authors are advised to keep a copy of everything submitted. A fax number for the corresponding author should be supplied if possible.
Papers may be presented as original articles. The authors are urged to write concisely. The text should read easily and the relevant literature should be summarized as concisely as possible. In the interest of space and prompt publication, unnecessary experimental detail and exhaustive lists of references should be avoided. Papers must be submitted in Journal style. The text should be typewritten on A4 paper (210 x 297 mm) with double spacing on a 4-cm margin all round. Each of the following sections should begin on a new page: title page; summary; text; acknowledgements; references; tables; legends for illustrations. At the final revision stage, authors will be invited to submit the text for publication on a computer disk. Detailed notes and guidelines will be available from both the Editor and Publishers.
All clinical studies must contain within the text of each manuscript a statement that all experimental protocols have been approved by the Ethical Committee of the Institution, prior to the commencement of the studies. All patients, or their guardians, must have given their written consent to the studies after they have received appropriate information. With respect to experimental animal studies, similar Ethical Committee approval of the protocols must have been obtained before the start of the studies. Thermal, electrical, chemical and smoke inhalation injuries must only be inflicted on animals that have been anaesthetized, the type of anaesthetic agent and the dosage used being described in detail in the text. Subsequent post-injury care of the animals should conform to accepted standards, for instance those promulgated by the US National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Title Page. This should give the following information: title of the article; names, initials and appointment held by each author; name of the department or institution to which the work should be attributed and name and address of the author responsible for correspondence.
Summary. The second page should carry a summary of not more than 200 words. It should embody the purpose of the study or investigation, basic procedures (study material, observational and analytical methods), main findings (with specific data and their statistical significance) and the principal conclusions.
Tables. Each Table with an appropriately brief title should be numbered and typed on a separate page. No vertical lines should be used. All tables should be referred to in the text.
Illustrations. Illustrations should be clearly numbered. Photographic illustrations and radiographs should be submitted in the form of good quality prints (not X-ray negatives or slides).Illustrations should be limited to those considered essential. Illustrations in colour are acceptable only if they illustrate important points not demonstrable in black and white and if the author is willing to bear the additional cost. Line drawings should be professionally drawn with lettering large enough to stand reduction.
Each illustration should be sent unmounted and have a label pasted on the back indicating the name of the author(s), the figure number and the orientation and, for photomicrographs, the original magnification. Wherever possible, authors are asked to provide two photocopies of each illustration, in addition to the original. A list of legends for each figure must be supplied on a separate sheet of the manuscript. Unless specifically requested by the author, illustrations will not be returned after publication. All illustrations should be referred to in the text.
References. All references listed in the References at the end of the article must be cited in the text. References should be indicated in the text by consecutive superscripts, i.e. 1,2 or 1-3. Where a reference is cited more then once in the text, the same number should be used each time. References should take the following form:
1. Zapata-Sirvent RL and Hansbrough JF. Temporal analysis of human leucocyte surface antigen expression and neutrophil respiratory burst activity after thermal injury. Burns 1993; 19, 5-11.
2. Muir IFK, Barclay TL and Settle JAD. Burns and their Treatment, 3rd ed. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann, 1987.
3. Bondy PK. Disorders of the adrenal cortex. In: Wilson JD and Foster DW, eds. Williams Text Book of Endocrinology, 7th ed. Philadelphia: Saunders, p.816.
The titles of journals should be abbreviated as in Index Medicus. If there are six of fewer authors, they should be all listed; if there are seven or more, the first three authors should be listed, followed by et al.
Abbreviations and units of measurement. It is the journal policy to use SI units except for measurements of blood pressure where mmHg is preferred. For more detailed recommendations authors should consult Baron D.N. (ed.) (1977) Units Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors, 3rd Ed. London, Royal Society of Medicine.
Proofs. Proofs will be sent to the author (first-named author if no corresponding author is identified on multi-authored papers) by PDF wherever possible and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt, preferably by e-mail. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any other amendments made may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive e-mail or fax. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete. Should you choose to mail your corrections, please return them to: Log-in Department, Elsevier Science, Stover Court, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, Devon EX1 2AH, UK.
